Tamer Institute for Community Education organized an interactive meeting that brings together the youth teams participating in the "Inscription on a Stone" project from all regions, to exchange their reflections on the experience they went through during their course in the project and the results of their research and field tours on the inscriptions in Palestine.
Youth groups from Jenin, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Bethlehem, and groups from Gaza, Lebanon and Acre participated in this meeting, which was held at the Edward Said Institute in Birzeit, via Zoom. More than 50 young women and men attended. During the workshop, the historian Ahmed Hussein presented an intervention explaining the history of the most important inscriptions in the Arraba-Jenin region and their social, economic and political dimensions.
The "Inscription on Stone" project aims to collect oral narratives stemming from the study of inscriptions, motifs, and symbols engraved on ancient buildings in the ancient towns of Palestine, especially since many of the buildings of these places are either threatened with confiscation, bombing, or neglect.
